Agree wholeheartedly. Also to add, Celsius isn't REALLY metric. It's just part of the metric system by arbitrary decision. Another thing is, Fahrenheit's 100 was originally set to be about the average human body temperature. Even today, it's easy to tell that if you have a temp over 100 you probably are sick. Setting the bounds of 0-100 based on when water freezes and cools is incredibly arbitrary honestly. As water boils at different temps based on atmospheric pressure. Lastly, Rankine units. If you want to get into science and math, Rankine I think is better than Kelvin. Why? Same bound for 0 (absolute), but the units are the higher resolution Fahrenheit. Better precision, means less fractions, easier to do math with.

Wow, you drank the Koolaid I see. Is this why when some formerly feminist scholars try to hold talks on campuses about these issues that there is always at the very least a group of gender studies students "protesting" the speaker's presence? Is that why when an egalitarian group holds a meeting to discuss these issues that feminists protest out in the halls and pull fire alarms to disrupt the meetings?

As for the "pay gap," please friend cite this gap. Or do you mean the gap where women are actually earning more than men? http://content.time.com/time/b...

Feminists don't want to do anything for men.
